TED CRUZ GOES ROGUE AT THE GOP CONVENTION

DubbleDhee

Cruz pulled a shocker. Withheld endorsement from Trump at the convention
You could see it coming. Tension between the men was too tight to mention

Reaction to his announcement was swift. A chorus of loud boos from the floor
But what did they expect from Lying Ted. He is a common political whore

Trump is never one to be upstaged. He came up with a power play of his own
He gave fans the thumbs up. Remember Ted's the one who got sent home

Cruz pitched his own brand of conservatism as if he was still in the race
Maybe someone should remind him, he was soundly rejected by his own base

Ted managed to congratulate Trump. Mumbled something about November
And then he pulled his selfish stunt. As if no one would ever remember

I suppose Cruz didn't like Trump's style. The way he loved to insult people
But this is the church his party built. Now Trump's on top so he's the steeple

This convention is snake-bitten. What with Melania's speech controversy
You'd think the party would avoid trouble. But they were at Cruz's mercy

Free speech is a guaranteed right. Cruz should be allowed to speak his mind
But free speech is not free from consequences. He committed political suicide

Cruz has his eye on the next POTUS cycle. The year 2020 is his big lofty goal
He'll probably do anything to get there. He's not at all above selling his soul

Tonight Trump will accept nomination. Even if another catastrophe unfolds
Every night is a new adventure. Cleveland convention has broken the mold

    This is an unconventional poem, although it talks about a convention. Nice!

    Thanks DD ~ My message to the USA is WAKE UP and DUMP TRUMP. Middle class America is too greedy ~ too possessive and like Trump is homophobic ~ racist and anti-Mexican and swallows his bait. My message to all decent Republicans (and I know many) don't just abstain but ~ VOTE HILLARY ! She is running a decent campaign - she's only ben married once and she is a Politician not just a Business Opportunist ! I know not everyone love Hillary but compared to TRUMP she looks like MOTHER THERESA ! So please America don't just DUMP TRUMP embrace HILLARY and give her a LANDSLIDE ~ AMEN ~ BRIAN

      I wish it were that easy Brian. But Trump tells Conservatives what they want to hear. They have become sheep & will follow him into a burning building. Trump disciples are fired up! They despise Hillary and spent all week bashing her at their GOP Convention. In all fairness, both candidates have very high unfavorables. It's a matter of which one can you stomach for the next 4 years. The next president will select 1-3 Supreme Court justices. That's huge. Can't let it be Trump. Thanks for sharing!!
